The feeling of a Father …

The feeling of a Father …

August 13, 2010

I was very happy when my first child, my daughter born (in 2006). Although I just bankrupt that time, I were still happy to see my daughter. Today my daughter is 4 in her ages and I am still happy.

I work very hard to maintain my wife and my daughter. Some time I was very frustrated and felt so bad because of the failure that I face. I do everything to maintain my family. I sold rice (bankrupt), I sold insurance (I quit), I planted corn (no more permit from land owner), I became a dried fish shop keeper (bankrupt), I was investing in a computer shop (burned down to the earth), and now I open a small laundry on Kilos business (still run and hope it will grow faster and bigger). I do everything because I love my family. I do the best to fulfill their needs.

Now, my laundry has grown. Approximately we can earn about US$11 per day. It is not enough because my target is minimal US$40 per day. I need to upgrade my self and the human resources.

God also has the same feeling as a father. God wanted his children well feed, well grown, well on everything. But, when his children become naughty and disobeyed him, God become very upset.

God still take a very good care of his Children even he didn’t get what He wants in return. I know that feeling. Sometime when my daughter disobeyed me, I became angry but I still love her and always do the best to maintain her. I am a bad father, not like God a very good father. Even I am a bad father; I know ho to do the best for my children. How about a good father? I am very far below if comparing from Him.

When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt. As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images. I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them. Hosea 11:1-3 (KJV)
